Appendix issue

[Tim Opie]

Hi, I am working on my PhD thesis using LyX 2.0.5 on OS X 10.8.2, and
the weirdest thing is happening with my appendix. 

I have set up the appendix region (using start appendix here) and
included the appendix files in my parent document. The TOC outline and
the Navigator see them perfectly, and title them correctly as Appendix A
Appendix B Appendix C etc. - wonderful However when I render the
document as a PDF, they all get renamed to Chapter, all except the first
appendix - which still retains the title Appendix A. Even if I put
multiple appendices in just one lyx file, it still keeps the name
Appendix A for the first appendix but changes every later one to
chapter.

Any thoughts as to what is going on?

Change 'Abstract' to 'Summary' in article class when working with babel and English (UK)

[Roey Angel]

Hi,
I'm trying to change the section name 'Abstract' to 'Summary' in an article
class document with babel enabled and language set to English (UK).
So far I tried to place in the preamble:

\AtBeginDocument{%
\addto\captions\captionsenglish{%
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{Summary}%
}}
or

\AtBeginDocument{%
\addto\captionsenglish{%
\def\abstractname{Summary}%
}}

or in the document, an ERT with
\renewcommand\abstractname{Summary}

but nothing worked

I also tried replacing \captionsenglish with \captionsbritish or
\captionsUKenglish, but both didn't work.

Any suggestions?

Roey

Why can't I select any CJK-Fonts and how do I solve this problem?

[Jessy]

Dear List Members,

I'm new to LyX and have of course checked all available manuals but can't find 
a solution to this problem:
I use LyX 2.0.5. with MacTeX on Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I've already figured out how to use CJK-Fonts by processing files through 
XeTeX, however, I'd actually like to use the normal built-in CJK Features. 
There's only one problem: the field for CJK-Fonts in my document settings is 
empty, there's no font to select.
If I enter text in (in my case) Japanese and try to preview it, I get the error 
message !pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file cyberb30): Font cyberb30 at 720 not 
found. I also tried entering the name of a Japanese font I know I have in my 
system, but if I do so, I get several errors (Undefined control sequence. and 
TeX capacity exceeded). 

Is there any solution to my problem? Am I missing out something, is there some 
special package I need to install to get it to work? 
I should probably add that though I have used LaTeX before, I've never tried 
using CJK with LaTeX until I got LyX. 

It'd be really nice if somebody could help me.

You can only have one Begin Appendix here per document. So if you have child documents, add the

Also check that you childs don't set a further begin appendix here.

There is only one Begin Appendix here, and it is in the parent
document with the child documents all included within that region parent
appendix region. The child docs do not contain any appendix information
- it should all be set by the parent.

The thing is that LyX treats it correctly, and within LyX everything
looks perfect. The child documents all say Appendix, and have the
correct Appendix value, the TOC is all correctly labelled with the
appropriate appendices.

It is only the resulting PDF that is incorrect. The PDF that is
generated by LyX says chapter instead of Appendix, and the TOC of the
PDF is labelled incorrectly. I am using MacTEX 2012, so I assume that
should all run properly

Appendix issue

[Tim Opie]

Hi, I am working on my PhD thesis using LyX 2.0.5 on OS X 10.8.2, and
the weirdest thing is happening with my appendix. 

I have set up the appendix region (using start appendix here) and
included the appendix files in my parent document. The TOC outline and
the Navigator see them perfectly, and title them correctly as Appendix A
Appendix B Appendix C etc. - wonderful However when I render the
document as a PDF, they all get renamed to Chapter, all except the first
appendix - which still retains the title Appendix A. Even if I put
multiple appendices in just one lyx file, it still keeps the name
Appendix A for the first appendix but changes every later one to
chapter.

Some time ago I experimented with LyX<->XML roundtrip. In my idea, XML
was not one-to-one mapping of .lyx structure, but an XML format

Unfortunately, I had to switch to other projects, and left the work

Use "lyxml.py" for testing. In any case, "lyxparser.py" is a good
callback-style Python parser of .lyx files.

Change 'Abstract' to 'Summary' in article class when working with babel and English (UK)

[Roey Angel]

Hi,
I'm trying to change the section name 'Abstract' to 'Summary' in an article
class document with babel enabled and language set to English (UK).
So far I tried to place in the preamble:

\AtBeginDocument{%
\addto\captions\captionsenglish{%
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{Summary}%
}}
or

\AtBeginDocument{%
\addto\captionsenglish{%
\def\abstractname{Summary}%
}}

or in the document, an ERT with
\renewcommand\abstractname{Summary}

but nothing worked

I also tried replacing \captionsenglish with \captionsbritish or
\captionsUKenglish, but both didn't work.

Any suggestions?

Roey

[Waluyo Adi Siswanto]

Did you try

 \AtBeginDocument{%
 \renewcommand{\abstractname}{Summary}%
 }

that works for me in default language.

waluyo

Works great!
Why the hell is it documented wrongly under http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Unsorted?!?

Thanks

It's a wiki. Now that you know better, can you fix it, please?

Why can't I select any CJK-Fonts and how do I solve this problem?

[Jessy]

Dear List Members,

I'm new to LyX and have of course checked all available manuals but can't find 
a solution to this problem:
I use LyX 2.0.5. with MacTeX on Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I've already figured out how to use CJK-Fonts by processing files through 
XeTeX, however, I'd actually like to use the normal built-in CJK Features. 
There's only one problem: the field for CJK-Fonts in my document settings is 
empty, there's no font to select.
If I enter text in (in my case) Japanese and try to preview it, I get the error 
message "!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file cyberb30): Font cyberb30 at 720 not 
found." I also tried entering the name of a Japanese font I know I have in my 
system, but if I do so, I get several errors ("Undefined control sequence." and 
"TeX capacity exceeded"). 

Is there any solution to my problem? Am I missing out something, is there some 
special package I need to install to get it to work? 
I should probably add that though I have used LaTeX before, I've never tried 
using CJK with LaTeX until I got LyX. 

It'd be really nice if somebody could help me.

Did you try the above in the Preamble, i.e.
\renewcommand\abstractname{Summary}

without the "\AtBeginDocument" stuff?

..

You can only have one "Begin Appendix here" per document. So if you have child documents, add the 
appendix to the main document and then include the child within the Appendix region in the master


Also check that you childs don't set a further begin appendix here.

This is because first with LyX 2.0.5 we don't load the package babel if your document language is 
English. Note that if your document contains another language, and if that#s only a quote from a 
French philosopher, you again will have to use \addtocaptionsenglish.

Interesting.  I may give it a try, but I was hoping that XML->LyX
might be a matter of applying an XSLT that outputs text.  Also, the
schema matters, and since LyX has LyXHTML (XHTML), and since I'm using
that, I was hoping I could find an importer from XHTML in particular.
I'd still have to write an XSL for translating from the schema I use,
so it's not like I was looking for a turn-key solution :) but still,
I'm glad someone's done something in this space!  Thanks,

Nico

There is only one "Begin Appendix here", and it is in the parent
document with the child documents all included within that region parent
appendix region. The child docs do not contain any appendix information
- it should all be set by the parent.

The thing is that LyX treats it correctly, and within LyX everything
looks perfect. The child documents all say Appendix, and have the
correct Appendix value, the TOC is all correctly labelled with the
appropriate appendices.

It is only the resulting PDF that is incorrect. The PDF that is
generated by LyX says chapter instead of Appendix, and the TOC of the
PDF is labelled incorrectly. I am using MacTEX 2012, so I assume that
should all run properly
